Hey PH community! I’m Kelsey, the Founder of Candor and I’m excited to be back on Product Hunt today.
When we were last on Product Hunt, our mission was the same — to help people find belonging at work — but our product looked very different. At the time, we were building a verified reference site, where you could get references on people you were considering working with. This was born out of a personal pain for me when I joined a team that wasn’t the right culture fit. I realized that my happiness as an employee was directly tied to the team I was working with, yet culture was a complete black box, especially for candidates.
As we continued to work on Candor, it became clear that culture isn’t just hard from the outside, but it’s also incredibly difficult to build internally. Though we expected people to sign up to create Candor profiles for hiring, we found that they actually signed up to share their profiles with their current teammates so they could get to know each other better. It was a huge learning for us — we weren’t wrong about the problem, but we had been approaching it from the wrong angle.
Today, we’re sharing what we’ve built in response to years (!!) of product feedback, research, and iteration: the new go-to culture platform for modern teams.
Candor is the best way for teams to build their culture in a digital-first environment. We make it easy to create user manuals, do shoutouts, give feedback, do check-ins, and run great 1-on-1 meetings. We created Candor for teams who care and are craving connection and belonging in their day-to-day work environment.
Our Candor profiles — which are the best place to express your professional self — will be free forever. We charge for our team features, starting at $5/teammate per month, after a 30-day free trial.
I’d love you to try out the product and share any feedback — we’re so appreciative of your thoughts and support.

Who hunted Candor?
Candor was hunted by Kelsey Bishop. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
